Dame Mary Berry to Receive BAFTA Fellowship at TV Awards on May 10

The honour recognises a six‑decade career defined by a warmer, craft‑first approach to TV competition.

Overview

  • BAFTA, which announced the Fellowship Thursday, will present it on Sunday 10 May at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
  • The Fellowship is the academy’s top individual honour that recognises an outstanding contribution to film, games or television.
  • Berry said she felt "completely overwhelmed" and called the recognition "the icing on the cake."
  • BAFTA credited her Bake Off role with making competitive TV warmer and with reigniting home baking.
  • The ceremony will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with Greg Davies hosting the BAFTA Television Awards.
